Reverse: Providence → Scottsdale

The route from Scottsdale, AZ to Providence, RI covers roughly 2,664 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the cross-country move category for pricing purposes.

At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $8,090 to $12,030 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 46 hours (6 driving days).

On the Scottsdale side there are 431 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (174 of them authorized for interstate work), and 330 around Providence (253 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Providence.

Scottsdale has a population of about 243,006 and Providence about 195,310. Providence is the denser city (10,377 people per square mile versus 1,312 in Scottsdale), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Scottsdale to Providence?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $3,230 to $4,810 for a studio, $4,850 to $7,220 for a one-bedroom, $8,090 to $12,030 for a two-bedroom, $12,940 to $19,250 for a three-bedroom and $17,790 to $26,460 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Providence from Scottsdale?

About 2,664 road miles (2,258 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 46 hours (6 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Arizona into Rhode Island makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Scottsdale to Providence?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $3,640 to $5,140 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,400 to $5,000. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Scottsdale–Providence corridor.
